This luxurious quiche is filled with all the ingredients and flavors of a classic chicken cordon bleu. Shredded chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese are nestled in a rich egg custard on a crumbly crust that sets deliciously when baked. A touch of Dijon mustard adds a touch of tartness that's so essential to the hearty filling. This quiche is perfect for both breakfast and dinner.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven; preheat to 425°F (220°C). Spread mustard on the bottom of the crust. Then layer the chicken, ham, green onions (white part), and cheese. In a small bowl, combine the cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper; pour in the filling. Gently toss to ensure the filling is coated with the liquid; sprinkle with green onions.
Carefully place the quiche pan on a hot baking sheet. Bake until the filling is set, about 30 minutes.

When the quiche is almost done, thinly slice the cucumber and toss with the arugula, vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Serve the quiche with a salad.
